Introduction
This DFRobot SD card shield is a Break out board for standard SD card. It allows you to add mass storage and data logging to your project.
Specification
- Break out board for standard SD card and Micro SD (TF) card
- Contains a switch to select the flash card slot
- Sits directly on the Arduino
- Can also be used with other microcontrollers

/*
* Install the SdFatV2Demo20110108 library!
* Append Example
*
* This sketch shows how to use open for append.
* The sketch will append 100 line each time it opens the file.
* The sketch will open and close the file 100 times.
